Hej there,

I agree that this is not good security. It does NOT make your system more

ack :)
But I stop should of saying it should not be done as I can see no
detremental effect to changing the port number. If it makes you sleep
better at night then do it. It cannot hurt. Just dont RELY on it.
Well, it wouldn't make me sleep better at nights, since I know that
there's an unpatched sshd out there. And even if it would be on another
port, a non-Script-Kiddy could break in easily.
Apart from avoiding security by obscurity, you're right, you can do it.
If I'm responsible for several dozen of boxes out there, I still
couldn't sleep at night, even though the sshd might be on another port
than 22 :)
Perhaps it winds down to: Do it on your private box, don't do it "at
work" :)
regards,
Marian
